We offer in-office testing for COVID-19 at all our locations. Testing is by appointment only. We ask that any patient anticipating a potential COVID-19 test, at any of our offices, come masked and alone at the time of the appointment. Children, both babies and toddlers, will not be allowed into the exam rooms.

If you plan to travel internationally you may need to get a COVID-19 viral test (regardless of vaccination status) and show your negative result to the airline before you board your flight. Calvert Internal Medicine Group now offers a PCR compliant COVID-19 test to established patients only.

Question: What is a COVID-19 PCR test?
Answer: The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for COVID-19 is a molecular test that analyzes the upper respiratory specimen. It looks for genetic material (ribonucleic acid or RNA) of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The PCR test has been the standard for diagnosing COVID-19 since it’s emergency use authorization in February 2020.
